My boyfriend is acting very strangely and freaking me out, what's going on !

Question: My boyfriend is acting very strangely and freaking me out, what's going on and what should I do?

I asked this under another category, but other answers besides those. We've been dating since May and he's a very normal guy, except he doesn't like to talk about his childhood and what I'm about to tell you. Anyway, It began a few days ago after I took him to his doctor's appointment for his now healed broken leg. I noticed something strange about the appointment and asked him about it and after five minutes or so he suddenly burst into tears and kept mumbling and then yelled "I need to know, why are you keeping things from me". I asked him if he was okay but he became a different person and told me "Claire, shut-up, I don't want to talk about it." By the time we get back to our college he is completely normal again. Then yesterday as he was taking off his hoody, his shirt came up a little and I noticed a long, straight cut on his side. The cut looked fresh, and we're not allowed to have animals in our dorms and it looked to defined and narrow to be him to be scratching repeatedly (not too mention he has short nails). I asked him if he was okay and where he got the cut. He looked at as if he had not seen it. He then stared at it and said "don't worry, it's fine". The strangest thing was today: his roommate told me that my boyfriend often screams in his sleep, will often sound like he is having a conversation in his sleep in a foreign-sounding language (my boyfriend is fluent in German but it didn't sound like German according to his roommate). The roommate was out of town today so I wanted to sleep over in his dorm room, however, my boyfriend said "sorry, I can't do that to you". I am really concerned about him. He has no psych issues,I think, just extremely strange sleeping habits according to his friends which I have now asked. The weirdest thing: he forgot to sign out of his email account and it had one draft as it always did. So out of curiosity I clicked it and the subject was "Just In Case", out of curiosity I opened it and it had personal messages to me, his friends and family about what to do and not to do in case he "disappears". Now, that this has happened, I've realized I've seen this strange behaviors in him before but just ignored them I guess. I'm really scared for him that he is going insane, and a little scared for me.

He is having horrible dreams or something, and he is talking to the voices in his head that he hears.
He believes he is in danger. He has cuts on his body , and those can be from self cutting. He won'[t disclose why or what is going on at the doctors.
Most doctors are not trained in how to discern between psychosis, schizophrenia and some super natural occurance. They will evaluate and probably decide he is psychotic.
There is no way to prove psychic phenomena much, and the rest.
He could record his dreams and the noise at night.
He didn't 'accidentally 'leave his email open to you, he did it on purpose and believes he will disappear, perhaps he believes he will be abducted by aliens, there are people who believe they have been.
It is difficult to say what is happening to him, other than from a purely psychological view, which may not be fair.
If he needs to take medications to silence the voices he hears that persecute him then maybe he should take them.
He could try these therapists also eftmastersworldwide.com
there is a support group for people who have been abducted by aliens, and I saw one the other day when I was looking at the ufo in Israel over the dome, and the one in turkey.
I would openly ask questions about all this and see what he does.

The first thing that popped in my head is tha maybe he's having weird dreams...I wouldsuggest you talk to him about it.
You need to communicate..tell him you're here for him and you're here to listen

Hon, your boyfriend does have issues, and whether he would be a danger to himself should be determined by a professional. You need to talk to someone, his family, someone close by that you trust, or what I think may be best, calling that doctor he went to see and telling them that something is wrong. I'm not a professional but he sounds like he may have some symptoms of schizophrenia, he could be a victim of abuse, or it could even be something like a severe depression, but I think you know he needs help otherwise you wouldn't be writing here.

he's a russian sleeper agent left over from the cold war. whatever you do, don't say the phrase "gosh, that italian family at the table behind us sure is quiet", or else he may try to kill you

Ohhh ..oh man.

Yeah I definitely think he has some psychological problems..you can ask a psychiatrist about it and they will help you big time!
But it almost sounds like hes cutting himself maybe in sleep?
I feel like your boyfriend had a really traumatic thing happen to him in his childhood but he just might be insane (sorry that sounds really harsh)
I wouldnt bring it up too much just because I dont even know you and Im a little worried about you and him and bringing it up only seems to make things worse

so my best advice as i already said-see a psychiatrist

goodluck!

My first thought was him having ptsd but I really think you should maybe talk to him and say hey Im worried about you and maybe talk to his parents.
Good luck!
